Roasted Potatoes with herbs smothered in mozzarella

In the last ten years potatoes have received a bad wrap from the mainstream media. For those who warn against the evils of carbohydrates – potatoes are at the top of the list of foods to avoid . But, as with anything, it depends on your circumstances. Personally – I am not a diabetic. I exercise regularly and I enjoy potatoes occasionally. I won’t proselytize on the topic. You are best to manage what you put in your mouth. However, if you are inclined to eat potatoes here is a great little potato dish that I like in my arsenal of side dishes. It is pretty straightforward and difficult to mess up. I use baby potatoes: They have less variation in size than regular potatoes and are therefore easier to cook evenly; are conveniently bite sized making it possible to choose to make less of a potato commitment if we want, than if large potatoes sit on our plates.
